Last weekend at Comic-Con in San Diego, Lord of the Rings‘ Peter Jackson said he would be submitting a script for The Hobbit to Warner Bros. in the coming weeks.
As soon as Jackson gets the green light, he will begin casting for the role of Bilbo Baggins. This is about the time that the Comic-Con fan boys soiled their cargo pants, while I yawned. Seriously, who can handle another three hours of horses, bearded Englishmen and pasty midgets?
So, to shake things up, here are the five least predictable talents that the New Zealand film boss should consider to fill the shoes of the titular midget:
5. Tony Cox
If Mrs. Huxtable can play the part of the old lady in Broadway’s August: Osage County, I see no reason why the foul-mouthed crook from Bad Santa shouldn’t have a decent post-racial shot at an audition.
4. Mel Brooks
He already has the costume.
3. Roseanne Barr
After the inevitable wave of press that’ll come her way this summer from dressing up as you-know-who, perhaps now is the time for her return to the big screen. A sequel to She-Devil would suffice as well.
2. Slimer
They should just save money on the cast and CGI it up with this ectoplasmic piglet.
1. Samm Levine
The Freaks and Geeks star is arguably at the height of his career after scoring a bit part in Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds and then the July/August JVibe teen mag cover. The kosher kiddo could very well nab the lead.
If not, he is always welcome to review Marx Brothers books for us again.
Haha, cute little hobbits

Very cute post. I was excited to see Samm on the cover of JVibe!
Hehe, great post! You know, I would actually love to see that little guy from Austin Powers playing a hobbit. He could wear that same wig Bilbo wore in the other movies!

Long before that nighttime soap brought him international tag heuer fame, Forsythe worked steadily in both film and TV, earning an Emmy nod back in 1953. Forsythe also tag heuer contended at the ta
But he’s dug himself a partisan hole with this big bill, and it’ll be interesting to breitling watches see him try to dig his way out. On the one hand, an Academy Award is nothing to sneeze at. Bullock has
